Honda marine apprentices to be awarded at show

The success of six marine technicians of the future will be recognised in a special graduation ceremony at the London Boat Show.

The latest graduates from Honda’s Marine Apprenticeship Programme will be presented their certificates on Friday 9 January by Geoff Matthews, General Manager of Honda (UK) Power Equipment, and Neil Fletcher, Head of the Honda Institute.

Kerry will also pick up the special award of ‘Marine Apprentice of the Year’ – an accolade whereby dealers and trainers nominate an individual that has gone the extra mile.

Kerry’s trainer commented: “Kerry is always helpful, keen to learn, attentive, performs well in all tasks and end of module exams. He has a great attitude and is a pleasure to teach.”

The Honda Marine Apprenticeship Programme takes place over two years, during which time trainees are employed by their local Honda Marine dealership and attend block training at the Honda Institute, working on a range of specialist marine products including the class-leading 225hp V6 fuel-injected marine engine, RIBs and larger leisure yachts.

Neil Fletcher, Head of the Honda Institute comments: “The Honda Institute is proud to support the development of individual skills in the British Marine industry, as they are essential to deliver the excellence that our customers expect.

“The apprentices graduating at LIBS have given themselves every chance to succeed and can be confident that their skills will be valued as they pursue their careers.”
